Abstract:
An inhibitor composition contains alkyl thiophosphoric triamide (or a mixture of alkyl thiophosphoric triamide and dicyandiamide), dissolved in a liquid medium comprising at least one organic solvent, at least one amine stabilizer and, optionally, at least one dye and/or at least one odor masking agent, is useful in making fertilizer compositions and in a method of fertilizing target plants.
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting corrosion at a surface in the production, transportation, storage, and separation of crude oil and natural gas.
Abstract:
Methods are provided to inhibit corrosion in low hardness water systems. The corrosion inhibiting treatment comprises: calcium salts of low molecular weight polymer polycarboxylic acids. These calcium salts may be added preformed to the water system in need of treatment or formed in-situ in the system. This method of corrosion inhibition is not a source of addition phosphorous or heavy metal to the treated system.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are sulfur-functional corrosion inhibitors that are adducts of a cyclic anhydride with 2-mercaptoethanol. Concentrates of the sulfur-functional corrosion inhibitors do not degrade to form H2S under standard storage conditions for a period of up to 5 years. Also disclosed herein are treated water sources and treated metal containments including one or more sulfur-functional corrosion inhibitors. The sulfur-functional corrosion inhibitors inhibit corrosion of metal containments contacted with one or more water sources, wherein the one or more water sources comprise one or more corrodents. The sulfur-functional corrosion inhibitors are as effective or more effective at inhibiting corrosion than conventional sulfur-based corrosion inhibitors when compared on a weight or a volume basis.

A composition, which comprises a) an organic material susceptible to oxidative, thermal or light-induced degradation; and b) a compound of formula I (Formula I) (I) where R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are independently from each other H, C1-C8-alkyl, C4-C8-cycloalkyl, phenyl, C1-C4-alkoxy or halogen; n is 1, 2, 3, or 4; and when n is 1 A is —C(=0)-OR′1, —C(=0)-N(R′2)(R′3), —CN, phenyl, which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more C1-C8-alkyl, C4-C8-alkoxy, C5-C7-cycloalkyl or halogen, —H or —S02-phenyl; when n is 2 A is —C(=0)-0-Z1—O—C(=0)-, —C(=0)-N(R″1)—Z2—N(R″2)—C(=0)- or piperazine-N,N′-biscarbonyl.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to increasing longevity of the nitrogen content of soil through improved liquid delivery formulations of nitrification inhibitors. The liquid formulation can also be comprised of nitrification inhibitors and optionally urease inhibitors that are blended solutions of each. The nitrification inhibitors are present in a mixture that comprises both a protic and an aprotic solvent system. The novel formulations are designed to be applied to fertilizers, especially urea and manure based fertilizers. The delivery formulations provide an environmentally sound and inherently safe solvating system that improves the storage stability of the urease inhibitors by utilizing liquid organic non-water containing solvents, maintains the nitrification inhibitors in solution to storage temperatures of at least 10° C., and provides improved application to fertilizer of nitrification inhibitors. These delivery formulations enable safe storage, transport and subsequent application or blending with urea-based or manure-based fertilizers that can be applied to soil in either a liquid or granular form to provide improved nitrogen retention in the soil for uptake for plant life.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition containing a stabilized solvent ketone, ester, or glycol liquid concentrate of at least one N-alkyl thiophosphoric triamide and at least one surfactant. The invention also relates to methods of using the composition.
Abstract:
There are provided an oxygen scavenger composition and the like, which are excellent in economy in which the amount of oxygen absorbed per unit volume of the oxygen scavenger composition is large, and rusting at high humidity is inhibited. The oxygen scavenger composition of the present invention comprises (A) an iron powder, (B) a metal bromide and/or a metal iodide, and (C) a thiosulfate.
Abstract:
Methods to produce pH-sensitive microparticles that have an active agent dispersed in a polymer matrix have certain advantages over microcapsules with an active agent encapsulated in an interior compartment/core inside of a polymer wall. The current invention relates to pH-sensitive microparticles that have a corrosion-detecting or corrosion-inhibiting active agent or active agents dispersed within a polymer matrix of the microparticles. The pH-sensitive microparticles can be used in various coating compositions on metal objects for corrosion detecting and/or inhibiting.
